Night photography program planned in Franklin

FRANKLIN -- The Stony Brook Camera Club will present a free program by Lance Keimig, author of "Night Photography and Light Painting- Finding Your Way In The Dark," on May 25 at 7:30 p.m.

Keimig will give a presentation on night photography with a special emphasis on light painting and light drawing, the art of adding light to long exposure night photographs with flashlights and a variety of other sources. Keimig will show images by a number of artists and discuss the different styles and techniques used to create the images in the presentation.

Keimig is a Pembroke-based photographer who is best known for night photography of the built environment. His book was published by Focal Press in August of 2010, and has been translated into six languages. A second edition was published in July of 2015.

Keimig is the curator of "Darkness, Darkness," a traveling exhibit of night photography, which opened at the Three Columns Gallery at Harvard University, where he was curator from 2006-2010. He has taught at the New England School of Photography in Boston since 2000 and leads independent workshops across the country and photo tours to Iceland, Cuba, Ireland, Scotland and other international destinations all featuring night photography.

The Stony Brook Camera Club draws members from Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The goal of the club is to promote enjoyment and proficiency in all aspects of photography through education, by mutual exchange of knowledge and experience, and by promoting a broad appreciation of our natural environment. Camera knowledge and ability range from beginner to professional.
